Social Illusion

I Don’t Compete. I Connect. And Sometimes That Hurts. I don’t compare myself to anyone.I don’t compete. I uplift.I promote.I support. Sometimes I support even when I cannot support myself. Do not say, “Have you read my story?”Do not say, “You are not the only one going through it.”Do not twist my honesty into a competition of pain. This is not about you. This is my moment. If I call you regularly, that is intentional.If I comment, that is care.If I show up on your platform, that is love with no invoice attached. I also know the truth I have to accept. You cannot expect anything from anyone. Support is not owed.Validation is not guaranteed.People are busy. People are distracted. People are inconsistent. I know. But I am human. And right now my feelings are hurt. My show will be this Sunday like it always is, and I will show up bright and energized and ready to pour into people. That is what I do. That is what I am built to do. But today, Wednesday at 4:54 p.m., I am not polished. I am disappointed. So I am going back to my dark, cozy retreat, which is depression, and I am going to try to wake up tomorrow in a better headspace. And if nobody reads this, it is fine. I will still show up. Because I always do.

Monday Night

Monday night madness. Writing Tuesday’s article. Applying for executive roles. Uploading Sunday’s YOU BE YOU LIVE recap to Substack. Cutting shorts. Building the brand. Building the future. Building myself. Nobody claps for this part. Nobody sees the tabs open at 11:47 PM. Nobody feels the quiet pressure of “what’s next?” But this is what reinvention looks like. Not glamorous. Not loud. Just consistent. If you’re up late chasing something bigger than your current reality, I see you. We’re not behind. We’re building. #MondayNightMadness #ExecutiveLife #JobSearchJourney #ContentCreatorLife #ReinventionSeason #YOUbeyouLIVE #DisciplineEqualsFreedom #NoDaysOff #BuilderMindset #KeepGoing This is a public episode.

RECAP: NETTA FEI

RECAP: NETTA FEI BROUGHT THE BOOK OF BURNETT TO YOU BE YOU LIVE Some books are meant to be read. Some books are meant to be sat with. That is exactly what happened when Netta Fei joined YOU BE YOU LIVE to share The Book of Burnett, a collection of 42 truths drawn from her father’s lived wisdom. Her father passed about a month before his 90th birthday. He pastored for almost 50 years. He led an association of 30 churches for almost 30 years. But the heartbeat of the conversation was not his titles. It was the way he used truth to elevate people. If he could help you, he would, and it was his joy to do it. THIS WAS ELDER WISDOM, SERVED THE RIGHT WAY Netta also shared something that deserves to be repeated: this wisdom is not meant to be rushed. Her reflection guide frames it beautifully. This is not a checklist. It is not something you conquer. It is something you sit with. Wisdom earned through living, leading, failing, praying, rebuilding, and finishing well only works when you slow down long enough to let it tell the truth about you. That is what this conversation made room for. WHY THIS HIT DIFFERENT We were not there to perform intelligence. We were there to get free. This book is built to spare you. Spare you time. Spare you detours. Spare you expensive lessons you do not need to repeat just because the world is loud and everybody has an opinion. That is the gift of lived wisdom. It gives you direction when everything else is noise. SEVEN LANES OF REAL LIFE One of the strongest parts of the discussion was how the truths can be held in real life lanes that actually match how we live. Character. Money. Speech. Faith. Time. Relationships. Legacy. That is not theory. That is life. And the point is not to admire forty two truths like motivational posters. The point is to live one truth so deeply it changes how you move through your week. Because one truth lived beats forty two truths bookmarked. THE TRUTH THAT KEPT ECHOING One of the lines that stayed with me is simple and sharp: nothing is a failure but not trying. That is a direct hit to fear. If you do not try, you already lost. You denied yourself the chance before life even got a vote. The conversation kept coming back to that quiet courage. The kind that does not need applause. The kind that just moves. IF YOU WATCH THIS RECAP, DO ONE THING Do not treat this as content. Treat it as a mirror. Pick one truth. Sit with it. Apply it. Let it change something small and real this week. That is how legacy becomes lived. That is how wisdom stays alive. Thanks for reading, William Rochelle, but you can call me Bill.
